What is Hip?

OK: I’m gonna level with you here. This was originally going to be a comic about the word “hipster” and how it gets overused like nutso, but then it went some places and I’m sorry.

Anyhooooow, my point was going to be: At one point, that word meant a very specific sort of too-cool-for-everything jerk. But something happened, and it suddenly means “20-something with any interests that you don’t personally happen to have.” So, let’s make a deal, shall we? Let’s all stop using that dumb word, and go back to calling those people assholes.
